 Camera on its back, marbles on the UV filter, macro focus.

Not sure how "odd" it is -- after having stared at it for quite some time, it looks normal to me, but it's at least, well, interesting.

Wonderful picture! I think the competition is steep for this challenge and this does not come across as "Odd" as you might like, but it's a GREAT picture! Great focus and DOF. Nicely done.

Very cool abstract work. I'm not sure how you did this, but I like the result.

7 - Good and 'odd', I am sure the size restrictions don't do this justice. Criticism; want to say wish there was some sharpness around the edge of what looks like glass beads(?), but then you'd likely lose the focus on the refractions, so who knows. Nice colors and although the refraction idea is obviously not 'new', the multiple in almost symmetry may be yours, if so, well done. Maybe a slightly different crop on this, or 'composition' (if possible), especially to gain more 'symmetry', may have made this better in my opinion.

At least it looks like you have all your marbles...
This is actually one of the better versions of this type of refracted shots I've seen.

It looks more like an even photo then odd.
